Virtual video hosting is a rapid way for organizations to appear as if they are self hosting videos without having a single video saved on their web server. The Virtual Video Hosting feature is actually a series of related functionality that is grouped together that ensures that a visitor to the member’s website have a seamless branding experience for the member’s organization.
An organization’s staff, partners, or members upload videos using a custom branded upload form that runs in the organizations’s own domain. Prospective customers encounter the organization’s custom branded widgest on far flung webpages and they instantly redirected to the organization’s website to watch the video on a video page fully branded for the organization. The player page is also in the customer’s domain and that is the only place where search engines will index that video as well. The video watched is large, starts immediately, and generally continues without buffering. All of the contact information presented is for the organization and not their video provider or videographer. There is no Vidlisting branding to be found anywhere on any of the tools that comprise the virtual hosting package.
The organization can also see all of the data about the widgets (where located, how many impressions, how many clickthroughs, how many leads generated) and also for the videos (number of views and total numbers of leads generated).
On The Vidlisting.com Domain: This functionality is designed to be on member websites. Therefore, it is unavailable from the Vidlisting real estate video portal pages.
On Vidlisting Members’ Websites: The feature must be requested by the member and is included in Premium and Corporate level packages. The standard package takes approx. one business day to design the custom widgets, player page, and upload page. The standard implementation takes approx. 30-60 minutes working with an organization’s web developer.
On Self Hosting Partner Sites: This feature is not available to self hosting partners because, well, they are already self hosting video content on their own sites.
